July FO's

I don't have any (grin), but would like to start the ball rolling! I do
have some WIP's and here they a

- Peacock Feathers Shawl in Interlacements cotton "Floss". Coming along
very well.
- The neverending shawl in chenille. Will work on it when Peacock Feathers
is done.
- Purple velour sweater for granddaughter. I haven't finished the sleeves
since I'm waiting for her to visit in a week, then will finish it (I hope).
If it doesn't fit, it will be frogged, and I'll make her a cushion for her
bed from the yarn. It's awful stuff.
- Moss green variegated socks for DH. These are my "portable" project and I
only work on them when I go to my knitting group meetings.

I have one FO -- a pair of socks for DH. (plus catching up on my 6X6
squares (June and July)
I am into WIPs
The infamous yellow summer sweater
The ladybug Dale baby wool sweater
A striped cotton sweater for a friend's newly adopted toddler
A summer top like the one I did for myself in sage cotton

Now to finish some of these projects.

I don't have any either, but I am on the homestretch with my NYCO Aran-style
cardigan vest, interminably picking up stitches for the band that goes from
one hip up to the neck and down to the other hip again. I figure it will be
finished about when I estimated: September.

Just finished a recycled silk mini-shawl. Started it on the trip back from
Chicago, and had to use a bit of mohair to finish casting off, but it's
nice. I think I'll use some Lion Brand Incredible or another ribbon yarn to
fringe the booger.

Wait a minute! I've got about 18 hours before July is over. I don't
think I'll finish my current WIP, though. It seems like I knitted like
crazy this month, but all I have to show for it is one pair of cable
ribbed socks. I got the pattern out of a book from 1950.

I have 2 WIP's. I'm making a second pair of the cable socks in a
beautiful light blue, and I have a sampler afghan that is my
"in-between" project. It goes slowly, but one day it'll be done.

A nice pair of cabled socks is a good piece of work for a month!

Done on fine needles, a pair of cabled socks may represent as many stitches
as a fisherman's sweater knit at 4 or 5 spi!!!

Mine aren't that fine! This is however, this is the finest yarn I've
used for socks so far. Here's a picture of them, unblocked. You can
click around and see pictures of how they look on. I wanted to wait to
block them after I took pictures of them on.

They are nice socks and they *are* finished. I did not bind off any knit
items in the month, so I am very jealous.

Like, there was this pair of hemp socks, that I was knitting to wear with my
gardening sandals - those socks not only got frogged, the yarn got cut up
into little pieces and is being used to tie-up plants in the garden : )

LOL, Aaron,

The socks in the picture were frogged at least 3 times before they
became socks.

Hemp socks. I've never used hemp but saw some on Elan. How do you
like knitting it, and is it working for your plants?

Smiles,
